In recent years, façade panels made of natural marble have become one of our most demanded products. A ventilated marble façade is capable of qualitatively transforming any object, whether it is for commercial or civil construction. Historically, Jurassic marble has been mined and used as a building material since the time of the Roman Empire. The long history of success of natural stone is demonstrated today by the remains of walls, towers, and baths that can still be found in many corners of Europe. Various recent discoveries, such as Römertherme or Römerkastell in Weissenburg, clearly demonstrate this.

Marble cladding slabs with a groove are attached to the substructure using fastening plates.
Fastening the fastening plates to the load-bearing profiles is done using aluminum rivets.
Load-bearing profiles are attached using brackets either to the wall surface (for the row subsystem) or to the floor slabs (for the inter-floor subsystem).
Installation can be done at any time of the year, regardless of environmental conditions.
Rivet fastening at the top of the fastening plate allows for convenient installation and reduces the load on the rivet.
A universal solution for both row and inter-floor subsystems.
Clinkerstone, also known as stone for brick or 'wild' stone, is a timeless classic material that allows architects to bring to life the 'flight of imagination.' The constructionally defined horizontal and vertical seams of clinker provide the facade with a rich and precisely defined pattern, resembling perfect brickwork. The wide range of stone shades and textures, as well as the possibility of using volumetric decorative elements (cornices, columns, balustrades, and others), allows for the realization of architectural ideas of any complexity.
Clinkerstone is a type of ceramic stone manufactured using a somewhat unconventional method: firstly, a large part of the material is obtained by extrusion, and secondly, during firing, clinker bypasses the vitrification phase. As a result, the finished product has a smooth but not glossy surface and retains similarity to clinker brick. Since no chemical dyes are added to the raw material, the stone's color depends on the clay's mineral composition. Terracotta shades are achieved through iron admixtures. Carbon provides black, gray, and gray-blue colors. Stones are produced with uneven chips, rounded edges, and rectangular shapes. They can mimic brick, old walls, 'wild' stone, and more. Since the dimensions of the tiles are much smaller than bricks, the density of the product must be higher to achieve the necessary strength, achieved through high-pressure pressing and higher firing temperatures - 1100-1450°C as opposed to 800-1000°C. Clinkerstone is a low-porous material with high water and frost resistance; it absorbs moisture very poorly, not more than 2-3%, and therefore does not fall victim to freezing in the pores. The color palette of the products is close to natural but does not exclude any exotic shades. Moreover, coloring pigments are added to the original raw material, so sunlight does not affect the cladding. For facade cladding, not only regular tiles are produced, but also additional elements for corner decoration. Very often, these materials are combined by color to give the building a more interesting appearance. As is typical for ceramic tiles, clinker is insensitive to bacteria, fungi, mold, and is completely fire-safe.

The ideal solution: ventilated façades made of terracotta ceramic panels.
Aesthetics, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability are the basis for the growing popularity of ventilated terracotta façades. The modern color and shape elements of the panels give the building a memorable appearance and help architects bring their ideas to life. Thanks to the rich variety of colors, formats, and surface textures in the Barkat-Stein ventilated façade system, it provides an ideal foundation for creative freedom in planning new or renovating old buildings. Clients with specific requirements can also find what they need since one of the company's strengths is custom manufacturing.
For over 2000 years, ceramics have been the 'original material for architects.' Colored tiles and ceramic decorations were already used in construction by the Etruscans. The concept of 'ceramics' includes all inorganic non-metallic materials that are first formed and then fired.
The main component of the mass for ceramic tiles is clay, formed as a result of erosion from rocks containing feldspar minerals (such as granite) under the influence of wind, water, and seasonal temperature fluctuations. Clay consists of fine-grained minerals, with clay minerals (layered silicates) giving clay its plastic properties. Due to specific requirements for the ceramic production process and the clay product itself (50-70%), other raw materials such as feldspar (15-25%), chamotte (10-20%), and kaolin (0-10%) need to be added. The processing includes the homogeneous mixing of all components. The resulting mass is further processed as part of the ceramic production process. When forming tiles, two main methods are distinguished: dry pressing on one hand and extrusion on the other. In the forming process, the prepared mass, in the form of granules or in a plasticized state, is pressed into a mold or through a mold at very high pressure. The choice of the forming method depends on the required properties of the final product. Barkat-Stein supplies terracotta ceramics produced by both methods.

• Cladding panels are installed in rows on universal clamps
• Clamps are directly attached to the load-bearing profile of the substructure with stainless steel rivets
• The following standard substructures are allowed: row and interfloor
• Minimal fastener variety – one universal clamp provides multiple solutions
• Horizontal and vertical cladding panel installation is possible
• Universal clamping for panels from different manufacturers
• Quick installation and removal of panels
• Universal solution for row and interfloor substructures
The optimal solution: ventilated facades made of ceramic granite, the main advantage of which is the perfect balance between quality and cost. The material costs are fully justified because this type of ventilated facade finish has several advantages over alternative structures: it retains its original appearance for decades, does not change its color, does not require additional maintenance costs, remains extremely resistant to environmental influences, retains moisture resistance, frost resistance, durability, and cost-effectiveness. At the same time, ceramic granite finishing provides ample room for the imagination of many architects and designers.
